When you walk in, it's immediately dark. It doesn't feel like a burger joint, it feels like a burger restaurant. Nice booths and friendly but slow service.I got pretty excited while looking at the...

The first thing I noticed when I walked in to Dotty Dumpling's Dowry was the flat screens playing an old film noir, at that moment I was really hoping this would turn out to be a place I could love....

Dotty's is a college-y burger place that's right off of state street. This would be a good place to take your parents if they're visiting from out of town. It's an actual restaurant where you sit...

Dotty's make great burgers, but the secret is in the various sauces. I shared the Heart Throb, with a creamy, jalepeno-like sauce and the Runnelstone, which is served with an English Garlic sauce....

So why did we go into a burger place and not eat a burger? I think it has a lot to do with the fact that we "visited" a cow farm a couple of hours earlier where the babies were all kept in complete...

If you wanted something that was healthy, you wouldn't be here. This may be the best burger in Madison, but even if it isn't, it's firmly among the first class. Eat local!
